Jacky believes that yoga strengthens the relationship both with oneself and with the natural world. She is passionate about building community and holding space that is inclusive and supportive. Yoga has supported Jacky’s belief in her own innate wholeness. She guides students towards this understanding through compassionate and accessible teaching. 

Jacky began practicing yoga and mediation as a student living in Toronto, and has been with Coastal Bliss Yoga in Tofino since 2013. Her ongoing studies in Vinyasa, Restorative, Ayurveda and Meditation with her primary teachers, Natalie Rousseau & Rebekka Walker, bring a rich spectrum of experience and knowledge to her offerings. Inspired by earth based wisdom and a curiosity for the everyday magic of life, she offers weekly classes, private instruction & retreats through Coastal Bliss Yoga and co-leads the studio’s 200hr YTT. Jacky produced and designed Coastal Bliss Yoga Online in March 2020 alongside her team of teachers, you’ll find her pre-recorded classes there.

When not in the studio teaching or practicing, Jacky enjoys spending time outdoors with her family. Nature brings her back to wholeness and belonging. She loves to sit fireside with a journal in quiet moments of reflection, here she connects with her core values that inform the way she balances teaching, personal life and her business.
